Dynasty is an Australian TV series that aired from 7 October 1970 to 6 October 1971, based on the 1967 Tony Morphett novel of the same name which had been previously adapted as a television play.[1][2]
1969 TV play
The novel was first adapted as a television play produced by the Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC), and broadcast in October 1969 as one installment of an anthology series of unrelated plays under the title Australian Plays.[1][3][4]
The project was written by Morphett based on his novel, and directed in Melbourne by Oscar Whitbread.[5]

Reception
- The Sydney Morning Herald called the play "the best thing the ABC has done in a long, long time."[6]
- "Dynasty belongs to a handful of programs, all produced by the ABC, which examine media power in Australia and indeed it would be interesting to compare Dynasty with later studies such as The Oracle (1979) and Paper Man (1990)."[2] Moran praised actor John Tate for a "very strong performance".
TV series
Following the success of the TV play, a regular TV series was produced with a largely different cast.[1][3] Premiering in July 1970, the first series consisted of 10 episodes, and the second and final series consisted of 13 episodes.[1][3]
